Is there a good 4th option yet? I haven't really been impressed by what I've tried so far.

I believe Claude Code only works with claude and seems all I hear about that is it's great but the token limits are so anemic as to make it useless unless you want to shell out $200+ a month, which I do not so I haven't bothered.

I tried codex but it wouldn't run out-of-the-box. Installation on a fresh Windows box resulted in some obscure error which is a strong "this product isn't fully baked" signal.

Open code desktop thus far has been the only turn-key solution, worked right away on it's pickle model but was a real pain to hook to anything else. It exhibits a lot of the typical obtuse UX that open source projects end up with since open source tends to attract coders-developers more than UX/UI people. At least it does mention that it's still beta.

I use Claude Code with GLM 5.q, Kimi K2.6, MiniMax M2.7 and Xiaomi MiMo V2.5 Pro.

Why use Claude Code over something like Opencode then? From my limited usage of the tools over the past couple of months Claude Codes ergonomics feel strictly worse than Opencode, but I haven't deeply investigated either yet. I am using Claude models in both so I am getting a one to one comparison.

Because I tried OpenCode and Claude Code seems a better harness. It has the best plugins and many skills are designed to work best with Claude Code.

ah , wasn't aware it was open for use with non Claude models I'll take a closer look at it then. thanks.

I liked Zed’s agent as a harness. It’s LLM agnostic. My org just got GitHub Copilot and I use it as the API provider for requests.
